"Mr. Wolfe is the kind of satirist…who takes no prisoners. The shackles of the past have been defied by Mr. Wolfe's fearless humor, and it's a most liberating revolt." —NY Times. "Brings forth a bold new voice that is bound to shake up blacks and whites with separate-but-equal impartiality. True satire." —Newsweek. "If Wolfe's themes—of remembering the past and understanding stereotypes—are heavy, he wisely avoids didacticism in favor of lightness of tone. THE COLORED MUSEUM turns out to be a fun house." —Washington City Paper.
